I am reading a book called Eat, Drink and Be Healthy by Walter Willett of Harvard Medical School. He has some very good ideas that McDougall supports, but I believe he diverges when it comes to oils. Of course, Willett also allows some meats which our people don't support, but he says to minimize dairy and red meat. It's a good start. He also promotes the idea that Mcdougall supports, that the USDA food guidelines are influenced far too much by industry. For people we know that will never go whole food-plant based, this book could be a good gift. There is fairly good scientific reference in the book but there could be much more. Mcdougall always has extensive scientific references in his articles. There are good changes of mainstream medical advice about diet as evidenced by support of whole carbohydrate foods, minimization of red meat, processed meat, and dairy, and the admission of influence on USDA guidelines. There is a way to go of course.
I noticed my saturated fat intake is close to 0.5 % of total calories, and while lowering at intake isn't a goal of mine, I'm happy with it. I'm on the Mcdougall program which allows reasonable amounts of salt and sugar. I'm not worried about getting chia seeds or nuts for fats like I was awhile back. I've been following Peter Rogers also who thinks Mcdougall is one of the best if not the best nutrition doctors and he likes to minimize his fat intake, I believe.
When I was in my early 30s I was taking a high quality fish oil. I started having a lot of heart palpitations. I ended up getting diagnosed with ectopic beats. I decided to stop taking the fish oil. The ectopic beats went away.
Is safflower seed oil the same as sunflower seed oil? Dr mcDougall said safflower seed oil but the lecture notes say sunflower oil on the forearm for 2 weeks helped raise omega levels.
What made me decide to take cooking oils out of my diet was the points made by Barnard, McDougall and Peter Rogers. Even if McDougall and Rogers are incorrect (not saying they are), Barnard pointed out how dense in calories these oils are and devoid of nutrition pretty much (saw him before the other two later), as I recall on the Physicians Committee podcast with Chuck Carroll. Yeah, I find they add a little flavor, but it's not worth the trade off. Currently a pescatarian who eats fish twice a week. Never got into the Omega-3 supplements, as I figured it takes a lot of fish (or algae) to make a capsule, and I'm not a big fan of concentrating any nutrients (I do take a B vitamin about twice a week, a magnesium capsule sometimes, and may go back to taking D3). But I have an open mind and I want to do the right thing for the fish, so will likely switch over to a McDougall or Esselstyn type diet. I just received "The China Study Cookbook" by Leanne Campbell and "The McDougall Quick & Easy Cookbook" by the McDougall's. I'm pretty fired up about it, and will likely take the vegan SOS plunge soon after checking on the research. Not sure if I can ditch the occasional avocado though!
@@marvingiehl It's tough! Not so much ditching the oils, but I have been almost solely been cooking with the books I ordered (the aforementioned). If I don't use one of my recipes (the easy few I've used thus far), then I make a meal with a starch (a rice, potatoes or a pasta) covered with a pasta sauce (or salsa) & kimchi. I'm pretty consistent with breakfast or my first meal: organic oatmeal (steel cut type) with a good dose of fruit (usually strawberries, bananas or blueberries), ground flax/chia (sometimes), and sometimes a plant milk. If I don't have oatmeal, then I will do a granola usually with just a plant based milk (walnut, soy or almond normally). I ditched the fish, and I admit that I miss it, especially the sardines. I haven't been able to fully ditch salt, but I've cut back a lot. I did backslide a few times and get pizza (with meat on it, no seafood). The other issue is "the office" has these damn candies that I fallen for (Reisen and Reese's peanut butter cups). My big issue before was missing butter and salt, and initially missed oil some. Though the pizza and candies have this stuff (and other junk), salt is the toughest now with sugar rearing it's ugly head as a new issue.
when i link to any scientific study, my comment is automatically deleted. i guess only professional pharma lobbyist are allowed to quote science these days.
No, that’s a UA-cam thing. UA-cam no longer allows links. It’s been that way for awhile. It has nothing to do with the channel owner or content - all links and even email addresses get censored by UA-cam bots.

Great presentation from the legendary Dr. John McDougall! One of his finest, most passionate beliefs which I always love listening to.

Wow!
I love listening to Dr Mcdougal. Great lectures.

How was that legal to experiment on those babies by giving that terrible 'milk" ! ? 😡Babies should only be drinking mother's milk.
